The counters on the second floor are much smaller than those on the first floor, but the items sold are several times more precious than those on the first floor. Luo Chen also saw the black grain steel mentioned by the clerk on the first floor in one of the counters.
"What do the distinguished guests want to buy?"
Luo Chen and others had just walked a few steps on the second floor when a woman in her thirties dressed in palace clothes came over with a smile.
"We need medicinal materials that are hundreds of years old."
"Okay, please come with me, some distinguished guests."
When the woman saw that the person who answered the call was a little boy, she didn't hesitate.
Because as soon as Luo Chen and others went upstairs, she recognized their origins through the clothes embroidered with purple mist patterns on their bodies.
The woman took Luo Chen and others to a counter, then took out four exquisite small wooden boxes from the counter, placed them on the counter one by one, and introduced:
"We in Tianbao Pavilion currently have four medicinal herbs that are hundreds of years old. They are Xingmai grass that is hundreds of years old and can treat injuries on the meridians.
Blood Ganoderma, which can increase the true energy of warriors below the innate level for three to five years, two hundred and ten years.
The holy detoxification medicine Sanzhenhua, which can detoxify hundreds of poisons, is two hundred and fifty years old.
And the three-hundred-year-old wood spirit leaves that can heal serious injuries as long as they survive, I wonder which one the guest needs?"
Luo Chen was secretly stunned when he heard this. It was indeed a large store. There weren't even any other stores, but four of them were taken out here.
Luo Chen thought about it and realized that he wanted all four medicinal herbs, but such precious medicinal herbs must be expensive, so he could only buy the ones he urgently needed.
The three-needle flower and the wood spirit leaf are now of little use to him or anyone else in Ziwu Villa.
Blood Ganoderma can be cultivated into a Blood Jade Pill that increases the true energy. A single Blood Jade Pill can increase the true energy of a warrior below the innate level for ten to twenty years. It is more precious than the Snow Shen Dan.
Although Xingmai grass is a wound medicine, with the addition of purple leaf orchid, it can be made into a pulse-protecting elixir.
Although the Pulse Protecting Pill cannot increase the warrior's true energy, it can protect the warrior's meridians when the warrior opens the meridians.
This allows warriors to quickly open up the meridians without any worries, without having to worry about excessive impact of the true energy and damage to the meridians.
"I want Star Vein Grass and Blood Ganoderma."
Luo Chen thought about it and said directly,
"OK!"
The woman smiled even more when she heard that Luo Chen asked for two medicinal plants. This is thousands of taels of silver! She can get a lot of commission from it.
As for whether the child Luo Chen could afford the money, the woman didn't think about it at all.
As the largest power outside of the three giants in Ningshui County, how could Ziwu Villa not be able to afford these thousands of taels of silver? The woman had heard of the reputation of Tianxiang Tower and Qizhen Pavilion.
"By the way, do you have purple orchids here?" Luo Chen suddenly asked.
"ah?"
The woman who was packaging the medicinal materials was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she quickly reacted:
"Oh, yes, we happen to have a purple-leaved orchid in the store, but it's not a hundred years old."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have hundreds of years, as long as it lasts thirty years."
"Okay, that purple-leaf orchid is exactly thirty-five years old. But you have to wait a moment, the purple-leaf orchid is downstairs."
As the woman spoke, she ordered a maid next to her to go downstairs to get the medicine.
After a while, the maid brought up the purple orchids.
"How much silver do you need?" Luo Chen said,
Hearing this, the woman smiled slightly:
"One thousand taels of star vein grass, two thousand one hundred taels of blood Ganoderma lucidum, three hundred and fifty taels of purple-leaf orchid grass, a total of three thousand four hundred and fifty taels of silver."
"More than three thousand four hundred taels of silver?"
Luo Chen was secretly shocked. He knew it was expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive.
He had bought ordinary medicinal materials before, and had never bought medicinal materials that were hundreds of years old. He really didn't expect that medicinal materials that were hundreds of years old were so expensive.
Luo Chen felt a little uneasily in his arms:
"When I arrived, I didn't count how many banknotes my father gave me. I took them and put them in my arms. I don't know if they will be enough to pay the bill."
Taking out the banknotes, Luo Chen counted them and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, that's enough!"
Li Ge has been watching from the side. He originally thought that Luo Chen was just looking around, but he didn't expect that Luo Chen actually wanted to buy medicinal materials, and the ones he bought were of high vintage.
Li Ge knew Luo Chen, and Luo Chen had always been short of money.
Ever since Luo Chen started practicing martial arts, Luo Chen had used various means to get money from him and Luo Ze to buy medicinal materials. How could he have thousands of taels of silver to buy these high-end medicinal materials now?
Li Ge saw Luo Chen's hesitant look funny when he took out the money from his pocket.
Thinking of how embarrassed Luo Chen would be when he couldn't pay the bills later, Li Ge was so happy that his face opened.
But when Luo Chen took out the banknote and handed it to the woman, and the woman returned Luo Chen's 550-tael banknote, the smile that had just opened on Li Ge's face froze.
Then, Li Ge was furious: "More than three thousand taels of silver! This brat is so rich, yet he cheats me out of my money."
Li Ge gritted his teeth and looked at Luo Chen, but there were outsiders here, so Li Ge couldn't get angry, so he could only endure it for now.
Luo Chen collected the recovered banknotes and checked the medicinal materials:
"Yes, the medicinal properties are well preserved. If there are any more Xingmai grass and purple leaf orchid grass in the future, please send someone to Li Ji's grocery store to let me know, and I will take them all."
The woman still had a smile on her face: "Of course! If it is available, I will let you know."
"Thank you very much. Farewell!"
Luo Chen collected the medicinal materials and walked towards the stairs.
"Please walk slowly and welcome to come again next time!"
The woman sent Luo Chen and others to the stairs.
…………
As soon as he walked out of Tianbao Pavilion, Li Ge couldn't help it:
"Brother Chen, what you did is a bit unethical!"
"Why am I not authentic?"
Luo Chen looked at Li Ge doubtfully.
Li Ge stretched out three fingers and glared at Luo Chen angrily:
"More than three thousand taels of silver! You spent it without even blinking your eyes. You have so much money, and you have been trying so hard to deceive Luo Ze and me in the past few years. Shouldn't you give it to us?
An explanation?"
Luo Chen had a straight face and said righteously: "My father bought me medicine with this money. Besides, what do you mean by cheating you? This is the pocket money you gave me as a child."
After saying that, Luo Chen said with a smile: "Brother Li, don't worry, you gave me pocket money, I will repay you."
Hearing this, Li Ge said angrily: "Don't do this to me, kid. Whether it's a trap or a reward, I'll keep track of all the money you've taken from me in the past few years.
You boy, please pay me back immediately, and I will marry your sister, which will cost a lot of money. If you don't pay back, then when I marry your sister, you will ask your sister to ask for it."
"roll!"
Luo Chen was furious when he heard this, turned around and left. He was going to be so angry that he married his sister and asked him to pay back the money. How unreasonable!
"hey-hey!"
Seeing Luo Chen's angry look, Li Ge felt slightly comforted. He waved his hand and followed with two guards.
